📘 About the CGPA to Percentage
CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is the average of your grade points over all semesters, usually on a 10-point scale. Job applications, entrance exams and universities abroad often ask for a percentage instead, so you need to convert it.
There is no single national formula: each board or university publishes its own. Pick the formula from the list — the hint after each one shows who uses it — and the percentage appears instantly. If your marksheet prints a different multiplier, choose "Custom multiplier".
🧮 Formula
The right formula is the one printed on your marksheet or in your university's ordinance.
